From leather tutus to unstructured knitwear, the mini dress is the centrepiece of the Spring/Summer 2025 collection by JW Anderson, Jonathan Anderson's label, presented Sunday (Sept 15) at London Fashion Week.

Under the glass ceiling of Old Billingsgate, a former fish market in London, the Northern Irish designer experimented with the form, fabric and colour of the humble mini dress, playing with the possibilities of a garment often relegated to the wardrobe staple "little black dress".
